Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Cheers for that. I just got Ikeya formula ones myself, awesomely made and very tough, but thinking of changing to cusco as they have the dust covers. Will go Ikeya Lower control arms later, but don't really know anyone in adelaide who has the knowledge to adjust the roll centre correctly.

True, Ikeya arms are as tough as nails. Far surpass the factory gear. I have standard traction arms in the S14 and also in the 31. (Have 33 GTS-T cradle going in)

As for adjusting the roll centre.... it's not a case of something someone can do, the arms themselve have a roll centre adjuster built into them, which brings the roll centre back up to near where is should be. I dont have them in the S14, probably wont get them. My roll centres are through the earths core, yet it seems to drift fine. Nothing internally combusts or the earth stops turning LOL. I may put them in the front at some stage as my LCA's look like they're at a 45 deg. upward angle lol......

What you said is more correct talking about traction rods.... not too many people have the knowledge to set them correctly. I may get some later on, but a very low priority on my list of things to do.

i know you can make the steering wheel go in and out but that doesnt help i need it to go up more..

underneath the steering wheel where you pulled down the latch thing to make it go in and out there will be another one just next to it to move the steering wheel up and down

And from all accounts he charges through the ass for f**k all work. :D

Apparently his dad @ The workshop is the man to see. Cant remember what the name of the company was though.... Ill send him an SMS and find out.

bingo, i got charged a buttload to do not a lot (and the job only ended up half done on my trailer as it was), they used to be good but i would only recommend them if i knew the dad was going to do the work

kye, its not really that hard mate, but if ya want some help, get in contact with pete (marv). he'd be able to help ya out im sure, and he's only over at pt noarlunga. enough bribery with spirits would get him over to ya

id offer to help but wouldnt be able to do it for a couple of weekends

Ofcourse it was on there behalf, were all the reason's why ppl have car crashes and that on the road, so chowing there doing something about it makes them look a whole lot better for doing nothing

omg the lights on the intersection of brighton rd and jetty road brighton are WAY out of wack

was in my mates car, we had a green arrow to turn right off jetty rd onto brighton rd, so natrally we went... but a massive truck came steeming up behind us with more wheels locked than i care to count.

went back there and watched the patterns, and sure enough, there was a green light for the traffic to keep going on brighton road, while it was showing a green arrow for ppl to turn off jetty road and onto brighton :S :S

my mate reported the fault... hopoefully no one got in an accident.... we were lucky

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
